Full bloom

“From fear the plant was a weed to three beautiful pink blossoms. With each development – seeing the starting signs of a bud, the bud opening, blooming – I have felt joy.” I wrote in September 2023. My blog has become a de facto log for the pink flowers that grow outside. Whe...

What I made for HTML Day

There were two online HTML Day events yesterday, one for the Oceania timezone – which was in the morning for me here in the UK – and one in the evening for European timezones. I was determined to attend both, excited about the idea of spending my weekend making two new HTML p...

Colour

This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. The topic is colour. I think a lot about colour. I used to wear Hawaiian shirts almost every day. I like the colours, I thought to myself. Especially on a grey morning, colour makes all the difference. The colours made me...

A wooden love heart and a pot of flowers

The Guardian has a series where they ask a question and collate a few of the responses. A recent prompt caught my eye: “have you found anything unexpected when you moved into your new home?”. When I read this prompt, I got to writing. My response is below. I submitted it to T...

We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.

Last Sunday, I’ve been out photographing with Florian again. Photos here and here.

… aaaand two months after the warranty expired, the Bosch CityMower is dead. 😔 I had mustered all the choice-supportive bias that’s in me to make me believe for a little while that although the thing felt like plastic trash, it is “lightweight” and that “it’s a Bosch.” I should have known better … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🎬 12 Angry Men

Movie poster for “12 Angry Men”.

Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.

🎬 The Blob

Movie poster for “The Blob”.

This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!

Best Free Synthesizer Plugins in 2025

I am convinced that it makes total sense to spend a certain amount of your (spare) time on this planet tinkering around and exploring stuff that seems totally useless or silly compared to what you normally do. And without having a real explanation for why it happened, I’ve b...

Tumblr-ing

I now have a website on Tumblr. When I write, I usually have a direction in mind: a point I want to make. Today, however, I find that I instead have the feeling of discovery without yet having the exact words to describe what I want to say. Perhaps if I write a few words I w...

🎧 All We Love We Leave Behind – Converge

More Converge, more betterer! Certainly one of my favourite discoveries in recent years. While I enjoy everyone here, it’s again Ben Koller’s drumming and Nate Newton’s bass playing that fascinate me most. Just listen to that groovy drum rhythm, together with the rather calm bass in “All we love we leave behind”, or this insane drum fill in “Veins and Veils” (again, with a great bass riff). Putting a ride symbol in there like this makes me absolutely addicted, and makes me happy for days.

In the middle ground, there are Gothic buildings in the city of Edinburgh with several turrets and towers, including a University of Edinburgh building. In the background, a tall church spire peeks through the dense fog.
